Hi Grace, My colleague @SarahBell sent me a great example of the workflow involved in taking a drawing in sketchup and importing it into Illustrator for restyling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDCdl7yW_iM This illustrates what I was saying earlier - the drawing is no longer 3d, it's converted into its 2d form. It also illustrates the volume of work involved after the fact to achieve even small changes in symbology - exporting the drawing multiple times to remove "blocking' features such as the glass, or features that overlap with others such as trees. While we could consider ways to achieve this workflow in ArcGIS Pro/Maps for Creative Cloud, Pro scenes (unlike sketchup) contain many layer types which are not strictly vector that would greatly complicate even the manual version of the workflow from sketchup. We will also take this as input in terms of future 3d symbolization requirements. Thanks for bringing your workflows to our attention - we will definitely continue to take these requests into account for future versions of ArcGIS Pro and Maps for Creative Cloud.

Grace, Unfortunately what you're requesting (make edges "thicker" on an extruded polygon) isn't possible in ArcGIS Pro. This is documented in https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/3.1/help/mapping/layer-properties/unsupported-symbol-drawing.htm though I believe you should receive a warning in the UI when this happens - I do not see the warning icon on the screenshot you sent. Edges on a polygon extruded in a scene view are always drawn as 1 pixel wide at this time. I'll make a note of this as one use case where a larger size is desired.

It's a great idea conceptually, but getting it to work technically is the truly tricky part within the bounds of what is possible in a 2D vector graphics application like Adobe Illustrator. There's no Z in 2D vectors in this sense (it's only what's on top of other things on the page). While it is possible to sketch over top of an image of a 3D scene (this is akin to "matte" overlays or background techniques used in the film industry) that technique has limitations in that it's not TRUE 3D - scenes which may have some interplay of depth between items will readily show this - imagine a street that passes behind a building, or trees on the nearer side of a street for example. If you find that you frequently need to restyle 3d scenes, at this time I would suggest authoring these styling changes in ArcGIS Pro, and then outputting to AIX to finish the composition in the 2d space.

@SarahBell is correct - an ArcGIS Pro scene view isn't really "vector" anymore in the Adobe Illustrator sense. It's a picture of the scene. Can you give us more info about your use case or why you may want to receive the _scene_ view as an editable vector in a 2d vector editing environment like Adobe Illustrator?

Hi Bryan, This looks like an issue with the geometries of vector tiles drawing inconsistently (flyaways/some of the vertices are in teh wrong place). I noticed you are on an officially RETIRED build of ArcGIS Pro. Please update to a currently supported build and if the issue is still reproducible we will need more specifics about what draws this way (is it all layers? All basemaps only?) and perhaps a repro mpkx if possible. Regards, Jeremy W. EDIT: here's the table showing supported versions of ArcGIS Pro and their lifecycles: https://support.esri.com/en-us/products/arcgis-pro/life-cycle

Thank you for submitting this idea. ArcGIS Pro PDF exports handle transparency differently than ArcMap, namely not flattening all layers that are below a layer with transparency. Additionally, at ArcGIS Pro 3.1, users can choose to rasterize one layer, rasterize many individual layers, or even merge a group of layers into a single raster in their vector export. As there has been no further activity on this thread since 2015 we are closing this request. Further ideas can be submitted against the latest release of ArcGIS Pro. Thank you!

If you are still experiencing this issue with the latest patch of 3.1 (3.1.2) please submit your project package to Esri Support so we can determine what is going wrong.

Jonathan, please update to 3.1.2 to take advantage of the latest bug fixes - I do recall there were a few related to export failures.

@wayfaringrob that is the map that was included as the repro case for the BUG by one of the two support analysts you worked with. I've just DM'd you, let's connect over email and I can get the original repro case from you for the adobe error.

@wayfaringrobI finally got things installed and tried your repro with same settings (using your preset) on 3.1 final but still can't repro the error opening the PDF. Question: what version of ArcGIS Pro are you using?

@wayfaringrob yep, vector PDF. hey, can you do "Save Preset" on the PDF export dialog and share your .xprt file, so I Can use the exact same settings as you? There's actually no such thing as "default" settings once you change them once, so that's why we have presets as a way to share and use others settings and a way to get back to known states. 3.1.1 is installing now on a machine (had to free one up)

@wayfaringrob yes it does, the layer for states is set to linear burn. I assume the "fixed" project is the one I received. Like I said I'm gonna talk to our CE person to review procedures and see if there's any process improvement support or dev can make in this regard.

@wayfaringrob again, apologies - it appears the analyst logged TWO cases from your incident, and only one made it our way (to development). I'll circle back with our customer experience lead to make sure this type of problem doesn't happen again and review what occurred (they have more visibility to the support side of things). FWIW, I opened the pptx that was provided to me for the BUG you quoted, and exported it to PDF with default settings. I was able to open the PDF in Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader with no error message. I will double-check this with current release (3.1.1) as I was testing on a daily build.
